About the site →

Halifax Presents is an independent arts guide covering music, film, theatre, dance, comedy, and cultural events. If you have information that belongs in that conversation, send it to the editorial desk.

For the clearest response, include the project or event name, the relevant dates, a short description, and any useful links. We review submissions as part of the regular editorial process.

General enquiries, corrections, and story ideas can all use the same inbox.

Before you write

Keep it clear and timely.

Calendar information is most useful when it arrives with enough lead time to be checked and shared. For event submissions, the dedicated listing page explains the information to include.

For everything else, email the desk with a clear subject line and the relevant details in the body of the message.
